Its a motherboard problem but if you have modded or opened your console there is some other place you can send it...

http://www.gtelectronics.co.uk/ - Ive not used them so can't make any references.

If you haven't touched your console at all - you still come under the new 3yr warranty.

(also none of your "grow weed stuff promoting" here if I am to make an assumption you're the same guy)

[Fanappy]

don't worry mine took 13 days to get sent and returned so its all pretty quick depending where u live obviously...

register ur xbox on xbox.com before you call tho makes it quicker and u can no if u get ur console back or a refurb

My fucking Xbox is starting to have disc read errors. Started with Halo 3.

"Please insert into an Xbox 360 console."

[UKJAY]

My fucking Xbox is starting to have disc read errors. Started with Halo 3.

"Please insert into an Xbox 360 console."

My first one did that with NFS:Most Wanted, then after a few days it only would accept DVD's... I did hear that blowing a hairdryer on a cool setting helps clear dust spots inside if you hold it up with the tray bit open and the xbox turned off.

I had that, started with gears, then as with Jay, only DVDs would play, do what i did, call microsoft and tell them you got the rrod.

[TRIGGER M4N]

Mines started to do that, and on PGR4 it says "disk is unreadable" when loading some races.

[Chris]

I get that one too.

[StrayBezza]

I have started to see that "disk read error, please clean or insert into a 360" etc when initially closing the disk tray......after Halo 3 I think. I don't have any in-game issues tho! I am getting fucking sick of worrying about my 360 crapping out. If I change this one it will be my 4th or 5th change I think due to varying issues over the past few years. It is really getting on mt tits now. My PS3 is 100 x more reliable but hasn't got the games or live experience as yet otherwise I would bin the 360 altogether. Its criminal its a fantastic machine with a great gaming library and live service but you spend half your time worrying wether its gonna fuck on on you whenever you play on the bastard thing. Sorry for this turning into a rant but it really is not on.........Microsoft sort out your fucking hardware issues once and for all so us owners can concentrate on enjoying the games.........

Update - thought to myself - I ain't taking the risk on this one crapping out - took it back to the store from which I bought it and they exchanged it for a brand new one. Interestingly its a new premium model, not elite, and has a hdmi port and apparently update hardware - it was manufactured 31/08/07 so fingers crossed with this bad boy.............

[TRIGGER M4N]

I may follow suit and change soon aswell. This will be my 5th(?) one now I think. Never paid a penny for any of them.

That's quite lucky..good job with the xtra warranty too now

So am I the only one left in the exclusive "Launch Console Still Works" club?
*knocks on wood*

and I've kept it standing upright the whole time.

You are one lucky fucker.

I got mine two months after the launch in January (*waves angry fist at the shortages*) and haven't had a problem thus far *also knocks on wood*

But yeah, you seem to have done a sterling job Mass!

Oh 2 lucky fuckers...

My launch one that I bought online at Curry's died after a week or so...but I was fortunate enough to have it replaced by one in the store day after boxing day because I put up bit of a protest. They at first wouldn't give it to me because they said I needed to call MS repairs (all because really with only 3 in stock, handing me 1 is a 1 sale loss in that store) with all the madness over them - I was not leaving and read every sale of goods act notices at them lol...but it worked and I left with one. That lasted me 2005 - May 2007 and although it had a new motherboard, DVD drive & USB it's still only my 2nd console... I was fortunate enough to get the same console back from repairs, but oddly a refund for two console repairs !!

[mass9]

(*waves angry fist at the shortages*)

But yeah, you seem to have done a sterling job Mass!

well, I've never been told that I've done a 'sterling' job, so thanks.
your angry fist wave made me laugh. new signature? perhaps.....

You are one lucky fucker.

At certain points in my life Chris, I'd have considered myself the luckiest man in the world. Almost dying at 22 will make a guy think about things a bit differently I guess.O-)

It will in deed, but what happened!!! if it's too bad/emotional then obviously dont share it.

[nofear360]

I'm a lucky fucker too then \o/ Bought mine on December 24th, 2005. Still works like new :).

*knocks on wood*

[mass9]

Well, I guess its ALMOST like I personally had 3 RROD, but still, its offtopic so:


I had the flu at the time, and some type of virus found me. Because I was already sick with the flu, it really fucked me up, and blocked some enzyme from being produced which controls the function of my heart (can't remember the enzyme's name 8)7). To make up for the deteriorating heart function, my body began to send signlas to beat faster. I couldn't figure out why, at 22, in the best physical shape I'd ever been in, I couldn't run up two flights of stairs without sweating and being out of breathe. Remeber, I know what happened NOW, looking back, but at the time I couldn't make sense of anything. Anyways, I went to see my doctor, and he almost had a hairy shit.

"DID YOU DRIVE HERE? WHY ARE YOU DRIVING? HOW ARE YOU STANDING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!???! YOU'RE GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM RIGHT NOW!!!!"

at this point, I remember thinking "Are you kdding me? What's this old guy going on about?"

turns out my resting heart rate was between 180-200 bpm, just standing around doing nothing. It had been like that for about 2-3 weeks by doctor's estimations. I lost 18 pounds of mass (pun fully intended), and spent 3 weeks sitting in a hospital bed asking the Big Man Upstairs a few choice questions. He didn't answer all of them, but he answered a few, so I'll take what I can get.

Anyways, through medication and a procedure called cardioversion, my heart rythm, rate and function were all brought back to 'normal' clinical levels. I'm not where I was before this crap happened (my endurance for running distances is TERRIBLE now), but considering I was told that I shoudl be dead, I'm happy with my progress.
It wasn't fun, and I don't wish that on anyone, at any point of their lives, least of all when they're 22.


*whew*
Now that I've wasted the last 15 minutes of my day at work, I'm giong home to eat, rest (sooo tired) and relax on the couch.
Maybe I'll see you suckers online tonight.

[UKJAY]

I nearly died reading it - you are so lucky to be alive!! thanks for sharing it.

[Chris]

I almost died when I couldn't get laid for two weeks.

[UKJAY]

I almost died when I couldn't get laid for two weeks.

Well at some point in your life it could end up 2 months !

Do you think that guy'll come back - or will he be a 1 post only man...

[mass9]

I'd guess he's of the "single post" variety.
and yes, two weeks can turn into 2 months very quickly. In the case of a couple of friends of mine, two months has turned into two years (at least!......poor guys).

of course, I've been with my girl for so long now that I can hardly remember those blue-balled days.:D Thank fuck!

Yeah it's a killer when you're younger, but Im more fussy in my looking for a girlfriend now - I don't want to take up with just anyone because Im single, so I'd rather stay single and just wait for the right 'one'.... hopefully a hairdresser

[_Chris_]

Yeah i get really bitchy, stressed and such when i go a week or so without sex, elt alone months... Think i might die.

That's the spirit! don't do one night stands.. I never data a girl that I don't know anymore.. I remember 2 of them that seemed nice and all, but after I wanted to brake up they tried to kill themselfs!! I still have post traumatic stress from them.. I also attract women that have a boyfriend or are married.. They only tell me this after it's too late.. I had some verry bad times in my early 20s :(

Yeah I know people who have done quite a few with bad experiences, it's all very tempting, but I dont want all the complications...

I seem to attract very fat women, fat women love me...

[Chris]

I don't like house girls, but I don't like those tiny ass fuckers at the same time. I'm not attracted to skeletons with long hair.

[UKJAY]

same here...dont like fat or thin. I like just normal/average but got to have nice hair, immaculate teeth and at least be qualified in something...

[Sage]

I just want a white girl! tired of black girls. Its time for a change!

[_Chris_]

Never tried a black girl, always wanted to, just never really had the oppertunity:P, black girls dont tend to like the skinny white guy with long hair:P

Perfect:)

Immaculate teeth? You know the UK is considered by foreigners as having some of the worst teeth ever right?!

My only requirements for women is that they must not be super-thin, I like to have at least an inch to pinch (not loads though obviously), and they must have tits. Sex would be boring with a flat-chested girl.

hahahah :D

I can get better than that! :P

Is that because you're "The Man", Zan?

[_Chris_]

Is that because you're "The Man", Zan?

Tut Ross, Zan isnt THE man, hes DA man, theres a difference, theres the whole ghettoness that you just cant miss out;)

Yeah, it's just I have a 'thing' for really nice, really white immaculate teeth like mine... no fillings, no cavaities, every tooth in place, in tact... I know a filling is inevitable some day, but so far I've never needed any.

[wakeboardnmoto]

Ah, but notice the super ghetto ironing board, only da man could have an ironing board as ghetto as that:D

ohhhhhhh hahaha i thought that was some kind of pre-retro skateboard thing 8)7

[trj156]

it's been about 2 months for me...it sucks but at the same time being without a girlfriend has allowed me to party more often and do what i want while i am there, and also to work on my car. i could just never get anything done with a girl on my cell phone all the time/going out all the time.

[MP3]

I had the launch xbox 360 it was woriking ok since about 2 months ago, it all started with cant read discs than i got the 3 red lights. I called microsoft the first time and everything went ok except i never got a box or anything to send the xbox, than called again and again everything from the begining spelling my name to an Indian or i think he was an Asgard because when i was spelling my name he was like E for Apple god damn, i spent exectly 48 min on the phone (the first time was just 36min) Than no box again. So i called again and this time he was asking me some questions about my xbox live account when i said i dont remamber which address i used because in the past 2 years iv changed citys 3 times i asked him if i could tell him all 3 adress`s he told me to turn on my xbox and check with which one i have registered (ARE YOU RETARD IF I COULD TURN ON MY XBOX I WOULDNT CALL YOU, YOU DUMB FUCKS) (This phone call was exectly 52min). So now im still waiting the box, i was supposed to get it this past friday but nothing yet, so ill have to call today again. Damn i dont talk this long on the phone to my girlfriend my parents my friends and my brother combined in one month.

Damn if one day i catch a golden fish i would ask the fish to turn microsoft to a woman for just one day. Than i would fuck Mrs.Microsoft so hard from behind in the end she would have a dick for nose, baboons ass.

P.S. Jump In and Do Do Do Mrs.Microsoft

Me neither :( ...

There is a woman on my friends list who plays a lot of Call of Duty, Golf, Moto GP, Gears of war who's 27, but she only comes on once, twice a month !

[nofear360]

lol

[Sage]

You guys serious? I mean ive seen a couple at my local gaming store, met a couple from school and gaming expos(well there is only one down here), but none have xbox live(mainly because of the routes you have to take to attain it down here). you guys must be in the wrong circles if you havn met any.

[46Matt]

Ive never met a white girl that's into games... in fact any girl really...

my partner plays a lot of games.

she is the 'Noo' in the gamertag and has 1000/1000 viva pinata.

Mostly tho she's into the wii especially zelda at the mo.

[mass9]

black, white, yellow, brown, red.......what's the difference?
They're all pink inside ;)

@ Jay, re: the teeth thing. I'm the same way. Thankfully, my gf has immaculate teeth. This can be a deal breaker IMO.

oh, and nice hair. I like when a girl's hair smells like fruits. Its nice.....:D

EDIT: welcome new guy!

[max2663]

he has some nice pink clothes aswell:)

[mass9]

who're you talking about Max?
Me?

yeah, I've got a couple pink shirts, so what? Chicks dig it. My chick digs it. If I can wear something that she'll like, whether its a shirt, a cologne or a pair of glasses, why wouldn't I?
After all, she dresses in things I ask her to. Why shouldn't I do the same? and being secure in myself, I can handle the stupid comments I'll hear about the pink shirts. No worries.....8)

[_Chris_]

And as i said before, i had pink hair once.

Yeah teeth for me is a massive deal. Nice teeth and hair is top of my list, I can probably cope with a white filling in her mouth at the back, but not more than 1 or 2... I am really fussy...

[mass9]

and never underestimate the allure of a nice, firm butt, perched ontop of two long, lean and sexy legs.

I'm a true sucker for the lower half. mmmmm, mmmmmmm LEGS!!!!!
yum.

[max2663]

sorry i was talking about "zans" ghetto ironing room of

my neighbour has really bad teeth it makes me sick:r she also claims she cleans her teeth but there about as white as my turd oh apparently the irish have the worst teeth of all!

[UKJAY]

erm..ok ...

[Fanappy]

Lol I love the fact that we have totally ignored MP3 who has a red light issue to carry on talking about women well Teeth are a big thing for me can't be too big or too small or wonky and need to be white, although obviously the whole package needs to be taken in as well ;)

MP3 if you got rrod there is only one thing you. Keep calling them or if you have the guts, go to your retailer(with your ref no. and console in hand) and demand a replacement. this might work but it depends on which country you from.

I did that, but it only works if your console is less than a year old, and of course as sage mentioned, where you are in the world. Laws are obviously different when it comes to electric equipment rights and such.

There was one on my university course, but no, no... just no.:r

My ex absolutely hated videogames. We were together for nearly four years and she took absolutely no interest in them. I even took the Wii up for her family to play with, but she wouldn't take part. I think it had something to do with the fact that I tried to persuade her that videogaming as a hobby isn't that bad, but she was having none of it. Ha.

Oh, well.
